Finally! Spring has arrived! 🌺 but as you can see, I’m still cold. Still, it only gets better from here, right?😃 Anyway, spent some time at the park, now I’m running some quick errands and then back to writing. What are you guys up to this first day of Spring? #springtime🌸

Didn’t do my weekly planning yesterday, so I’m doing it now. But, I’m finding that this week I only want to focus on writing. Do you ever get caught up in the hype of what others are doing? I know I do. Sometimes you have to get back to the beginning. Back to why you do what you do. For me that’s writing. If you’re being hard on yourself because all you’re doing is “writing”, then I encourage you to rejoice in that, instead of thinking there’s more you should be doing 😃🙌🏻

Work-Life Balance
Is it achievable?
There's a life-long ongoing debate on this, and the question should expand towards the stay-at-home moms and to the doting housebands as well. The challenging question is often met with a stern "No", veering towards, "a huge possibility that one gets sacked over the other", causing unwanted impact either on oneself, or on a partner, or with a family.
Is balance between work and life achievable? Everybody is wanting so much of a formula built around a "Yes", that it will be followed up with a "How?". My take on this, there no such thing as balance, because the minute we incorporate "a scale" in our daily grind, we are bound to deliver within measurable boundaries. The "more" is felt, and the "lack" is magnified. The danger then, is we begin to say, » Ooh, I am so drained because 80% of my time is spent on travels
» I just spent my whole day on useless meetings and there are tons of emails to answer.
» Unbelievable piece of s#!+, I just talked to a client who kept asking, but would not listen to a word I'm saying and my day has not even started
» I never run out of things to do in the house; children will be coming home, and I am not done yet! When will these end? » I am The Man, I should be the one out there. I'd put her in her own place, very soon, lest she forgets.
Things above are just but a few examples of brewing emotions built with resentment. Frustration, boredom, crossed-boundaries, and the like, are catalysts of a negative mindset.
We all desire outer peace, inner peace, joy, clarity, harmony and all the wonderful things the galaxies offer. So, what can I do? √I choose to begin by disposing the balance. √I choose to accept, that work has to be done, because the take-away will improve myself and my loved ones will be in a better status.
√I choose to work smart, so I will have more time. √I choose to be grateful, because not everyone has a great job like mine. √I choose to not let travels drain me, and will allow myself to enjoy the scenery. √I choose to ignore mundane discussion and remain thankful.
CHOOSE. Keep that in mind.
Stay amazingly beautiful,
Kind folks.
Happy & blessed grind week!
